Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism novel Chapter 205

The staff member looked very embarrassed. "Sorry, but I'd like to speak with your captain."

Amara stepped aside. "Evelyn, they want to see you."

Evelyn put down her ID card and walked to the door. "What's going on?"

The staff member started apologising, "Ms. Evelyn, I'm really sorry—"

Before he could finish, Hattie bypassed him and strutted into the lounge, her eyes brazenly scanning the space. She spoke in a commanding tone, "Alright, we'll take this room."

The team inside was taken aback.

Evelyn asked, "What do you mean?"

The staff member explained, "Ms. Evelyn, this is Ms. Hattie from Flame Vanguard. She wants to switch lounges with you."

This room had windows and a nice view.

Hattie, arms crossed and fiddling with her nails, added, "Yeah, I like this lounge. Since you're only playing one match this afternoon, just give it to us."

Evelyn frowned. "What do you mean by 'only one match'?"

Hattie snickered, "Exactly what it sounds like."

In her eyes, neither 'The Spring Blossom' nor 'The Mighty Dragons' were making it to the finals, so it made sense to her that they should give up the spacious lounge.

If she had asked nicely, Evelyn might have agreed.

But her rude and unreasonable attitude was too much.

"I'm not switching. Get out."

The staff member looked troubled.

Hattie insisted, "Why not? Give me one good reason."

Amara cut in, "No means no. Can't you understand a simple refusal?"

Hattie blinked at Amara, her gaze dripping with disdain as she looked her up and down. "And who are you? If you're not the captain, you have no say here. You're just here for the prize money, right? How about I pay you to switch lounges?"

All of them are shocked.

That was truly disgusting!

Was she here just to bully them?

The two girls on the couch jumped up. "What's your problem? Think you're hot stuff just because you have some money? If you're rich, why not buy the whole sports arena and pick any room you want?"

Hattie ignored them, looking a bit impatient. She sighed, then turned to Evelyn and said, "Cut the nonsense. How about 3,000 dollars? Deal?"

Evelyn replied, "I'd switch for free with anyone else, but with you? No way."

"Ha."

Hattie sneered and walked out of the room.
